9、 Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.“Hello？” she called. “Celia? Marie？”There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island.

12、So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here.

A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 124 species
18、of fish and shellfish. A sustainable catch refers to the amount that can be harvested without doing longterm damage to the health of populations of some species.Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls
19、. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. Thats a loss of more than one in every three fish.Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spread far apart across
20、38 ocean regions. Temperature changes vary from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earths seasurface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.On average, that warming has caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the
21、 fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming. However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. Thats because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern US. coast. As wa

31、. 国内的comprehensive adj. 全面的1A考查细节理解。根据题干中的关键词“the largest circulation”定位至每个媒体介绍的发行量处；由第二段中的“23,100,000 copies”，第三段中的“20,930,000 copies”，第四段中的“6,900,000 copies a year”以及第五段中的“10,209,000 copies”可知，太阳报的年发行量最大，故A项正确。2B考查细节理解。根据题干中的关键词“the most loyal readers of Daily Mail”定位到第三段倒数第二句“Wellknown for female
32、 favorite topics, it is extremely popular with middleclass housewives”，由该句可知，中产阶级的妇女是每日邮报最忠实的读者，故B项正确。3D考查细节理解。根据尾段倒数第二句“It also publishes literary works, but mainly short stories and poems, as well as humorous sketches(小品)”可知，纽约客还出版文学作品，但主要是短篇故事和诗歌，以及幽默小品等，据此可知，小说最没有可能在纽约客出版，故选D。【语篇解读】Lina因为划船的事情与朋
33、友Marie和Celia争吵了起来，结果自己被留在了孤岛上，此时天色已晚，电闪雷鸣，她开始担心起来。最后，Marie和Celia以及Marie的父亲来接Lina了，她们之间的矛盾也得到了缓解。【难句分析】Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.分析：“only状语(从句)”位于句首时，主句用部分倒装；once在句子中引导时间状语从句。译文：只有当她在冰冷的水里的时候，她才想起水流动得有多快。4C考查推理判断。根据第四段第四句中的“hidden in a heavily w
34、ooded side stream of the river”可推知，这个岛是被茂密的森林围绕着的，故选C。5D考查细节理解。根据第六段第五、六句“Celia took Maries side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave”可知，因为Celia支持Marie，所以Lina非常生气。故选D。干扰项分析：根据第六段的内容可知，是Lina不让Marie划船，并且将Marie和Celia赶走了，而不是她的朋友们舍弃了她，故A、B两项错误；根据第六段前三句可知，Lina认为Marie是个糟糕的
35、划船者，并不是Marie不会划船，故C项错误。6C考查细节理解。根据第七段最后两句“She just hoped she didnt become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill(寒意) down her back”可知，她一想到自己会被别人遗忘，她就感到后背发冷。故选C。7A考查推理判断。根据尾段中的“Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Maries dad”可推知，当时是M
36、arie的父亲把Lina从水里拉了出来，故选A。【语篇解读】研究发现，随着气候变化继续让海洋升温，世界上可持续捕获的鱼类和水生有壳动物在不断减少，这在一定程度上影响了渔业的产量。【难句分析】That means its urgent for commercial fishing fleets and regulators to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.(Para.5)分析：句中“its urgent for commercial fishing fle
37、ets and regulators to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea”为省略了that的宾语从句，作动词means的宾语；其中“how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea”为how引导的宾语从句，作consider的宾语。译文：这意味着，商业捕鱼船队和监管机构迫切需要考虑气候变化如何影响海洋中所有鱼类的健康。8B考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“A n
38、ew study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish”可知，新的研究发现，海水升温导致鱼类和水生有壳动物减少。故选B。9D考查词义猜测。根据画线词下文“one example. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit”可知，随着升温继续，这些鱼将快速繁殖直到它们的极限，
39、据此可推知，画线词的含义与“reproduce faster”相近，故选D。10A考查细节理解。根据第四段第二句“About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming”可知，大约8%的鱼类和水生有壳动物数量上遭受了重大损失。故选A。干扰项分析：据第二段第三句“In some parts.the decrease is as high as 35 percent”可知，B项表述错误；根据第五段第一句“About 3.2 b
40、illion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food”可知，C项表述错误；文章没有提到D项所表述的内容。11B考查推测判断。通读全文可知，一项最新研究显示，随着海洋变暖，鱼类和水生有壳动物的数量正在减少。这在一定程度上影响了渔业的产量和这些生物的健康。由此可推知，本文属于科学类文章。故选B。.阅读七选五【语篇解读】本文是说明文，从四个方面阐述学生在校园中如何节约能源、保护环境。1B根据句子的结构判断，本句是一个从句，七个选项中只有B、C和G三个选项符合要求。根据语境可知，此处表示“不管你是老师还是学生，总有许多可以帮助你们学校节
41、约能源的方法”。故答案为B。2E本段主要讲述在离开教室等地方的时候关灯以便节约能源。本段中的一些提示词，如“turning off the lights”“Turn off the lights”等也暗示了本题的答案。技巧点拨：七选五侧重考查文章的语篇结构和逻辑关系，通过相应段落中一些复现的提示词确定答案是做题时一个常用而有效的方法。3F本段主要讲述当教室内光线充足时使用自然光。空前句子中的“times of day”与F项中的“Other times of day”形成对应关系。4C本段谈论在学校内设置回收站回收可循环使用的材料。C选项中的one指代主题句中的“a recycling station”。5A根据下文的“put up signs”“using signs”“some signs”提示词可以判断答案为A。
